FUNAI 2014/2015 THIRD LIST ASPIRANTS GIVEN UP AS FUNAI MATRICULATES



The Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo finally celebrated her 3rd Matriculation ceremony on the 10th day of December 2014. The event was the 3rd of its kind in the history of the university as freshmen were sworn in to the university system. Present at the great event were dignitaries from different spheres of life in academia. Among which was The Vice Chancellor Distinguished Professor Oye Ibidapo-Obe ( OFR, FAS, FAENG), The Registrar, Deans of Faculties, HODs, DAP, Staffs, Students, Matriculating students, guests, just to mention but a few. 
Though it was a moment of elation, but on the side of the aspirants, (who beyond all odds hoped against hope for the release of the third admission list), it was a moment of frustration and tears of pain and not of joy, as the commencement of the matriculation gave a big hut to their faith.
Though a 200 Level student of Funai, I also found myself buried in pathetic mood while those calls came, both on Whatsapp they came asking whether there was still hope of third list even at the 11th hour. But as a motivator I bade them never to give up, though Matriculation day was now counting down in hours. Before our bare eyes, the third list aspirants were denied admission due to unreasonable accommodation issue.
To those beloved Funai aspirants who never made it in the 2014/2015 session, I say “It is not yet over until it is over”, “Remover the sadness, rise up and make your obstacles your stepping stones”. “To Asogwa Victoria, to you aspirant, it is not over. Pick up the Jamb form; go dust your Jamb past question and start afresh. My motivation; Thomas Edison failed 999 times and gave us ELECTRIC BULB. “
Come 2015 Funai will admit up to a thousand beating its past record. I make this statement in view of the progress of the multiple accommodation process going on in the University permanent site. Since Funai admission is tagged to accommodation available, then there would be more people to be admitted next year than ever before.
I always remain your friend: OMAKA De HOD form the Computer Science Department of the prestigious University; Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, P.M.B. 1010, Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.

THE HOPE OF FUNAI 2014/2015 THIRD ADMISSION LIST

It has been a deep thought whether the University will release third admission list this time around, haven seen the great challenges faced by the school. Challenges such as the mandate of providing accommodation for every admitted student of FUNAI. But it has proved abortive as the university is unable to accommodate her desired maximum number of students to be admitted this year. Though there still remains a great hope in the perspective of the dreams and projects of the University; the project of the ongoing magnificent hostel construction almost at its completion, but when urgency is at sight delaying factors are set aside. The academic activities are too urgent to be I procession than to wait for the completion of the hostel project. Therefore, the tendency of releasing the third admission list is at risk. According to the university’s academic calendar, FUNAI 2014/2015 Matriculation Ceremony is to take place on the 26th day of November, 2014. As experience may have it, FUNAI must give all admission before Matriculation day. If we are to make a countdown from today(The day of publishing this article being 21st day of November, 2014), it is exactly 5 days to the Matriculation and the Third Admission list is not yet out. I give this analysis to clarify the unrest minds about this year’s admission systems of The Federal University Ndufu-Alike Ikwo, FUNAI. On Wednesday 19th November, 2014, the Universality Senate had a meeting of which I believe the Third list and accommodation issues were deliberated upon. This means that if the outcome of the Senate meeting was positive, then candidates are to expect the release of the third admission list before the November 26th (Few days from now), but if negative because of the accommodation challenges, then it means that there would be no third list. If at all there will be third list, then only a few candidates will be admitted, usually into the departments of French, Linguistics, Music, History etc. Therefore, as a Christian I give you a piece of my admonition that Prayer to GOD almighty is required these few days to enable FUNAI decisions be to your FAVOUR.

FUNAI MOURNS: ONE OF FUNAI DOGS JOINS THE ANCESTORS




 
It was a shocking demise as one of Funai dogs departed in a mind blowing way. We still imaging why Funai brought in dogs into the school compound; dogs too frightening to behold. This isn’t a fallacy. Old and new students can give a crystal clear witness about the menace of those wide creatures teetered at strategic positions in the University.
It was on a cool evening, few weeks ago, when one of the dogs located by the entrance of the school back gate, got loosed and attacked Ikwo passers-by. Missing the human target, the dog attacked some sheep at the back gate and fed on it. The sheep gave up the ghost while the dog ran back to the school and gave up the ghost too.
But what caused the death of the dog? Is it a mythical taboo for a dog to eat the flesh of a sheep? These were the questions we were left with unanswered. Immediately, the Veterinary Doctor arrived the scene, loading the dog with several injections but to no avail.

It is still an issue to ponder on. An opinion to air, if possible to the Dean of student affairs. We imagine the kind of canned food bought periodically for these dogs with which they grow notorious. The picture above shows the canned food bought last week for the purpose of the feeding of the dogs. The weekly income allocated by the federal government to these dogs is enough to take care of myriads of students who slip garri in the hostel. We have long debated over the owner of the bags of rice and beans at one corner of the school auditorium, until we finally discovered that they were for the nourishment of the world class dogs. Mr. Ogbonna, one of the provision store owners at the back gate reported the magnitude of the ingredients they come to purchase for the preparation of the dog’s meal. Oh what a world class university, where dogs receive their monthly allowance.
Freshers, BEWARE OF WIDE DOGS!  Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh! Woh!
